California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) recently aired concern about his son's interest in Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson.
In an interview with Bloomberg that was published Sept. 7, Newsom was asked if he has discussed artificial intelligence with any of his four children. The governor confirmed that he has and offered insight into his concern about his kids gravitating toward "micro-cults."
"I really worry about the misinformation, disinformation," Newsom said, "about what's happening with our country, but I really worry about these micro-cults that my kids are in.
"I say micro-cults because I don't know if there's a better way to describe it. My son is asking me about Andrew Tate, Jordan Petersen [sic]. And then immediately he's talking about Joe Rogan," he explained. "And I'm like, here it is, the pathway."
For the record, neither Rogan nor Peterson nor Tate are cult leaders.
However, each of the men has a cult following on social media. They are wildly popular, famous, and offer perspectives about a myriad of issues that often diverge from the mainstream consensus. Each of them is also critical of authoritarian politicians and believes a leader like Newsom falls into that category.
But the biggest thread that connects them is they believe strong men are important for society. Perhaps it is telling, then, that Newsom's son is attracted to them.
In response, Peterson poked fun at Newsom on social media.
"We're coming for your children @GavinNewsom," Peterson joked. "We plan to turn Your boys Into men And girls Into women[.] Within the dark Pathways Of our micro cult."
Rogan, meanwhile, frequently criticizes Newsom on his podcast for mismanaging California through ultra-liberal policies and harsh COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
Governor Dipstick appears to be flustered now that his son realizes he is a lying POS commie punk.
Says the microcephalic.
That’s funny because I really worry about turd rollers like Gavin Gruesome Newsom.
The son must know Gavin is a Dufus.
Be funny if Josh put Jr on the mic.
Headline: “Stalin worried that his son is listening to people speaking the truth about communism and tyranny”.
Jordan’s response was great.
Who's Josh?
I’m sure if his son announced his name was now Sally, Newsom wouldn’t have any problem at all with it.
A child shall lead them.
You should be more worried about the satanic culture throughout the government including the highest levels.
The regime is in the process of eliminating the micro-cults.
Yet he’s not worried at all about the MAXI-CULT Marxism.
Way to bring your son into the discussion, Slick.
17.9 followers is hardly a micro cult.
Fixed that for the author.
JBP is pretty darn good.
As if Joe Rogan is a conservative.
Funny and fun...
